very interesting school exhibition and
examination combined was held on Thurs.
day afternoon and evening in St. Lucys
School Hail. Sixteenth street near Grove.
The examination of the children in cate
chism, reading, spelling, arithmetic and
geo IRA 0hy was made in presence of the
parents and friends Of the school children
by Rev. A. NJ. Hammer, rector of st. Lucy's
Church. The school has been in operation
only since last September, and about 200
children have been IN attendance since
that time They are in charge of the Sis
ters of Charity of Mt st. Vincent and the
good results of their careful training were
plainly discernible at the examina-
ton. Two teachers tor two hundred
children is about three times the aver
ags which obtains under the public school
system and is entirely too many for the
two Sisters to do justice to. They have
done so however, to the satisfaction of the
parents of the children and the clergy of
the parish. The programme consisted of
songs and Rotations by the children, an
address by Master Timothy Hearne and by
Miss Norah Reed. Father Hammer
before distributing the prizes spoke a
tew words on the subject of Catholic
education and its necessity for Catholic
children. Gold medals were then awarded
to Master Edward Murray and Miss Nellie
Flaherty, to both of whom Father KAN
mer gave great praise for punctual
attendance, hard study and good
conduct during the entire term. Handsome
premiums were awarded to Mary Orotty.

her examination. The school hall was
crowded, and some persons had to stand
outside. Monsignor Seton was very in
terested spectator of the exercises, and he
vigorously applauded the children at every
opportunity Rev. Father Kelly assistant
to Father Hammer, was KEEP very busy
looking after the details Of the commence
ment, and Mrs Frank Mooney presided
very ably at the piano.

never saw before in one store attended to

the store, the we'll filed counters and

Now LOOK HERE.-We have often
thought how different some people regard
different debts. For instance, we know
men who do not like to be asked to pay the
amount of their subscription to a newspa-
per, when they would not think anything
of it at all if their grocer, or tailor, or ply
stefan should present bill for five times
or ten times as much. The amount due the
paper may be small, but they don't like to
be bothered about it; still they allow it to
go on without their attention and find fault
with the publisher if he lets two or three
years back pay accumulate. An exchange
says, and says correctly: mo man should
get mad because a newspaper publisher
asks him for money. A dun is. not an i'm
peaching of subscribers integrity, but
simply an outcropping of the publisher S
necessities. For instance, 500 men owe him
from one to five dollars each. Instead of
getting mad and stopping the paper because
the publisher asks him for his honest dues,
the subscriber should thank him and pay
up like man." If those who owe us Will
take the above to themselves and send in
Immediately the amount of their indebted
ness, we would he greatly convenience.i
and they would only be caneelling an hon
